hg19 gene .bed list

If I go to UCSC Table Browser > group = expression > track = GTEx Gene > table = gtexGene > output formal = BED, to my knowledge I think get a list of expressed genes in Human hg19 assembly.

If I sort and unique the gene names I get a count of 53490 genes. As I know human genes are ~20,000 in number, what am I doing wrong or incomplete? Are these transcripts which I need to take care of?

I am very new to this so any help to get a bed file of all 20,000 genes would be immensely appreciated!

Thank you

There are likely splice variants in that list. Do you just need a list of known genes in hg19? You can find that at GENCODE site here.
